Atchafalaya lyrics

It was a dream I had a long time ago
Louisiana rain comes falling down
It was a song I sang a long time ago
It was the girl I tried to sing it with
And the colors that she wore to bed

Momma told her not to go
Daddy threw the radio
Didn`t think you`d really care
Atchafalaya love affair
Louisiana

He was a bayou boy, he wore the corduroy
It was safe to say he lived his life in chains
He was the great white hurting
She was a bible girl, wasn`t known to whirl
She was all she ever thought that she could be
Maybe just a little bit more tonight for me

Momma told her not to go
Daddy threw the radio
Didn`t think you`d really care
Atchafalaya love affair
Louisiana...went a little like this

It was a dream I had a long time ago
Louisiana, Roosevelt, and me
Walking backwards in the rain
It was a song I sang a long time ago
It was the girl I tried to sing it with
And the colors that she wore to bed

Momma told her not to go
Daddy threw the radio
Didn`t think you`d really care
Atchafalaya love affair
Louisiana love
Atchafalaya along with me
Louisiana love...
It went a little like this
